Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a case management preliminary hearing in Glasgow on 1 February 2019, Mr Brian Gourlay appeared in person and GMB was represented by a solicitor before Employment Judge Ian McPherson. The judgment records that the claimant's complaints of unlawful discrimination arising from disability under section 15 Equality Act 2010 and harassment on grounds of disability under section 26 had been part-withdrawn at the hearing. On the respondents' unopposed application, and under Rule 52 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013, those complaints were dismissed following the withdrawals.
The only remaining complaint was victimisation on grounds of disability under section 27 Equality Act 2010. That complaint had not been withdrawn and was to proceed to a further preliminary hearing on strike out for no reasonable prospects of success, failing that a deposit order, under Rules 37 and 39, on a date to be fixed by the tribunal. No compensation or other remedy was awarded in this judgment.

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
